  • Id like to know if this car be put into a conventional vehicle, and it performance.

    Im looking into doing this in a kit car with VERY limited space

  • the best way to get rid of the hickups is to drink water upside down. im not shiting you!

  • I've tried that, but for some reason it never worked for me..

  • oh well. i tried. nice heater design though.

  • I know that trick works for alot of people though.. Thanks a bunch, I kinda took the idea from Gav's (cant7think7clearly) design on his 11th video and added my own little twist :-P

    Thanks for watching! Don't forget to rate and subscribe!

  • yeaaa, i'm canadian! it was boxing day! got kick ass headphones for a pretty sweet deal!

    keep making the very informative vids!

  • I put a 5-speed manual in my 1985 Chrysler LeBaron convertible. Between that and upgrading it to a TII turbo, it's a completely different car. Very fast and very fun.

  • I was thinking parhaps a sheet of tin or somthing on the back end of that duct just where the heater core is realy close could stop a melting point or somthing.

  • ooh great idea

  • I've been doing homework on the whole EV conversion thing and hope to get a project rolling in the next year or so. My wife got transferred, so we're moving to a new town and I need to figure out little things like making some money after I tell my boss and leave town. Once we get settled, though, I'm going to try to get one started. I have a '95 Neon with 210K on the clock I might declare the electric car project. I'll let you know how things work out once we get settled.

  • Hey man that sounds awesome.. Is it an auto or manual? Manuals work best, and they are what people usually convert but Norm (n2confusion) converted an automatic Geo Metro and it worked pretty well. Sounds like a great project, upload some videos if you do the conversion.

  • The Neon is an auto, but converting it to a manual would be no big deal. Just need the transmission, cables, shifter and one CV axle.

  • Very very true.. see I have a 97 Chrysler Cirrus that has been running like crap for a very long time and I have definitely considered dropping in a manual and converting it into an EV.

  • YouTube doesn't seem to be letting me include a URL, but if you go to the cant7think7clearly channel and look at episode 11, you can see how he did it. Granted, he just glued it in with hi-temp silicone. I like your mounting setup a lot better.

  • Yup, Gav and I are good buddies haha.. I've seen that video and that was what I was going to do, but I looked at the element and it looked like the heater core could possibly short it out so I definitely wanted the element insulated.

  • Why don't you chop some more heater core away and mount the ceramic element onto the metal plate? You'll get more clearance and much better airflow.

  • I have definitely considered that.. I'm pretty sure I would mangle it more than I want to. I'd hate to screw it up now that I have it working. I also considered ditching the whole heater core, and just mounting the element on a metal plate. I wasn't sure how I would mount that in the ducting though.
